Open since 2009, The Pony Bar still surprises people when I tell them about it. The seriously solid selection of 20 American craft beers—drafts like Abita, Troeg’s, Ommegang and Victory—are just $5. Location is weird: the No Man’s Land where Midtown West meets Hell’s Kitchen. But it’s very convenient if you find yourself in the Theater District. Get a buck off during happy hour from 4:20-5:20 pm or go for the gold and become an official Pony All-American by completing a 100 beer cycle. (I dare you.)
Pony up!
